Abstract A fistula between the pulmonary artery and the left atrium is a rare entity and its diagnosis is uncommon in the neonatal period. There are more reported surgical treatments in the literature than with a transcatheter closure. We report the case of a prenatal diagnosis of a large fistula between the right pulmonary artery and the left atrium with successful transcatheter closure with an Amplatzer duct occluder II 6/4 mm.

AbstractThe formation of a fistula between the right pulmonary artery and the left atrium via a sac is a very rare cyanotic congenital cardiopulmonary defect. A fistula between the pulmonary artery and left atrium may cause cardiac failure in utero. It can safely be treated surgically and in selected cases closure can be performed with transcatheter insertion of a device. In this article, we present a case with a fistula between the right pulmonary artery and the left atrium that was considered unsuitable for transcatheter closure and was safely treated surgically.

ABSTRACT Right pulmonary artery to left atrial fistula is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly. A 23 years old man visited an ophthalmologist for complains of diplopia and diminished vision with cyanosis. Computerized tomography angiography diagnosed the presence of right pulmonary artery to left atrium fistula. Intraoperative use of transesophageal echocardiography confirmed the diagnosis and guided in real time for the successful ligation of fistula. Transesophageal echocardiography helped to perform the surgery without cardiopulmonary bypass. How to cite this article Das S, Irpachi K, Devagourou V.

AbstractDirect communication between the right pulmonary artery and the left atrium is rare. We report a case that was first detected in utero and confirmed by a two-dimensional echocardiographic study performed postnatally. The patient remained asymptomatic, and hence was managed conservatively. The fistula gradually decreased in size and closed spontaneously at 15 months of age. The rarity of the case is discussed.
